"At the 2015 edition of TypeCon in Denver, Adobe's Frank Grießhammer
presented his work reviving the famous Hershey fonts from the
Mid-Century era of computing. The original fonts were tailor-made for
early vector-based output devices but, although they have retained a
loyal following (often as a historical curiosity), they have never
before been produced as an installable digital font."
